Not my cup of tea.. but it would look better if he did some silver trim on the front bumper as well since he has it everywhere else. Personally I have never understood how anyone can "Like" a 4 door car.. my own little mental hitch I suppose.

It would look much better if it didnt have the front bumper
Not only that, but the tires seem too small for the rims. Ether that or its the rims
Does his car even have any power?

he did have silver on the front stock bumper , but has recently installed a aftermarket bumper (KIT) that is why we think he should go back to all black :)

Not having seen it in person, it looks alright in that pic I reckon. Its not overdone which would happen if he keeps going... No stickers or anything which is a plus...

pretty nice for a honda hahaha its not mx but the trim seems to just stop at the front bumper if it had something on that bumper would look bad.... for a honda

I dont think the front bumper or rims suite that car... But it could just be because of the wheel gap.

Honesly though his car looks really clean, the silver doesnt make it look bad in the picture its the front bumper because it hangs down further than the rest of the car.

If he lowered his car i think it would look better. Otherwise i think its a clean car. But the front bumper does look kinda big.

Either way in the end its his car so he shouldnt be worried about what anybody thinks on this forum but what he himself thinks.

I agree that the bumper is definately out of place with the rest of the car. The silver trim I have no qualms about. As other people also said, something isn't jiving with the wheel wells and the rims. Black is probably the best color for that car, it seems to minimize it's four-doorness to me. A slight tint would probably make it look a little better, along with a respectable under the hood showing.

i think it looks like ricer. If he wants to make it look better Id lower it and go for that "clean" look. As far as the moldings, Id shave them all and door handles, it would look nice and sleek car

I agree with Mitmaks. Get rid of that bumper, lower the car, and lose the silver. There are lots of aftermarket bumpers that would fit the lookof that car much better than that one.

nah the car looks ok. But really it is an accord and the most you want to do to an accord would lower it and put some nice rims. Those rims and bumper would better suit a civic than an accord. The chrome trim peices look ok and he can pull it off because like i said it is an accord. It would be for a mazda liek driving a 626.

Paint everything back to black, use two small pin stripes in silver instead, get a body kit or get rid of the front bumper, get some regular profile tires on those 15s or get 17s and a drop. Maybe do an "oldscool" black tinting with cutouts for the taillights and mabe a silver lining on each of the holes if he wants. Silver rims and a nice realistic sized exhaust tip or a Remus muffler.

my .02 since he asked.
